WHAT BLAINE THINKS.
The Great Work Accomplished by tt
Founder of the Democracy in the LOui
lana Rurchaaa Then and Now.

The Great Work Accomplished by the
Founder of the Democracy in the Louis
lana Purchase Then and Now.
In his graceful speech before the
Merchants Exchange, of St. Louis,
James G. Blaine went so far as to de-
clare that, next to Washington, Thomas
Jefferson should stand highest in the
estimation of American citizens. THE
watchful care, the great nerve and
courage, the statesmanlike grasp of
Thomas Jefferson, standing between
the policy of France and the aggres-
sive energy of Great Britain, piucked
the whole territory of Louisiana from
the ambition of both and made it an
American State, and that vast domain
for which Jefferson gave So, 900, 900 is
now represented in seven great and
prosperous States and three Territories,
which, in the course of time, will add
four or fire States. possibly, to the
American Union. Never was a con-
quest so great, so extensive, acquired
by peaceful methods. Never was so
great conquest made by war that a
conquering power was able to hold"
This utteranee was made at a time
when Mr. Blaine was not considering
political questions, and it may be sci
down as representing his candid opin.
ion of the founder of the Democratic
party. During political excitements il

ty-tive years ago the Republicans were
right and the Democrats were wrong.
Therefore the man who fails now to
support the men who chance to cal
themselves Republicans must be wrong.
1t there is any thing reasonable in this
position with how much greater force,
according to Mr.. Blaine's own show
ing, may the Democrats assert that in
the beginning of the century their
party was right and its opponents
wrong, and that, as consequence,
every body that has opposed them
since must have been wrong.
The advantages derived by tn.
Louisiana purchase are widely recog-
nized now, and have been for years,
but at the time that it was made Mr..
Jefferson and his party were attacked
by their adversaries with the utmost
violence, and besides other things were
called lick-spittles for the French, cats
paws for the red revolutionists and as
sociates of infidels and murderers.
Probably no important move on the
part of an American Administration
was more vicious!y attacked than the
Louisiana purchase, but the wise man
who engineered that transaction and
the party which supported him in it
foresaw the benefit to be derived from
it, and persisted in their policy in spite
of obloquy and Misrepresentation

DEMOCRATIC coMPoSURE.

A Way of Accounting for It: The Re-
publicans Admit That Blaine Is Their
Strength, and Yet Fear the Democratic
Administration.
On all sides it is admitted that to re-
nominate Blaine would be party
suicide. Why? Surely the Maine
statesman is the embodiment of true
blue Republicanism; more magnetic
than any other man in the party;
towering head and shoulders, intel
lectually, above all other aspirants, is
the most popular and eager candidate
of them all, and yet, in one voice, and
with one accord, his party is in favor
of RELOCATING him to the rear of the
procession, behind the Shermans and
the Windows, the Culloms and the Al
lisons. 1t must be CALLING to Blaine.
There must be some reason for this
dire Republican party distress. 1t was
not SO four years ago, nor three years
ago. At that time the woods were
full of men who could lead the party to
victory, but none more gallantly and
gloriously than Blaine. 1t is not so
now; the supply is not equal to the de-
mand, in fact the supply appears to be
completely exhausted, and the party
appears to be completely exhausted
over it's search for candidate. Sure
ly, Blaine has done nothing since 1884,
either in political or public way, that
would have tendency to make him
unpopular with the people or his party.
On the contrary, he has been very cir
cumspect, and in no manner or way
has he intruded his peculiar views
upon his party associates or attempted
to reward friends Or punish enemies.
Ostensibly he has stood aloof from the
field of politics, posing as a states
man, and he ought to have benefited
by the retirement. We think he has.
But what of his party, how has that
Jared?
1t can not be claimed with any de-
gree of consistency that Blaineism, or
Republicanism has made any strides
toward winning back the confidence
and the votes of the people. On the
contrary Blaine Republicanism has
been a gradual loser in politics since
the first session of Congress under
Cleveland's Administration, and the
Democratic party has gained what its
adversary has lost. The loss and the
gain accounts for Republican nervous
ness and Democratic composure.-
